CONNECTED MAGAZINE REVIEW OF GIG FEB '09 Revolution for Dogs. Due to release their album in the summer this year, trounced out their brand of jangly indie-pop with aplomb. Sounding at times like The Coral and at other times aspiring to the sound of BRMC, songs like ‘Home’ and ‘Save Me’ seemed to go down a treat with the crowd. -Niamh Doolan

HOT PRESS REVIEW OF 'MISSION TO THE SUN' 12/09/08
'Offering bleak, powerful and punchy rock peppered with some quasi-prog sound effects, Revolution For Dogs immediately stand out from the crowd and are in some respects reminiscent of Therapy? The more upbeat and swaggering b-side 'Vampyre Of The Soul' offers a slightly different take on their distinctive sound, but both tracks leave a very pleasant aftertaste. Keep an eye on this lot.

HOTPRESS REVIEW OF 'SAVE ME / HOME'
On their new single 'Save Me' Revolution For Dogs use the same font as you'll find on a packet of Rizla rolling papers. The Dublin quartet's latest offering may not be completely smokin', but the jaunty, cheeky-chappy indie pop (akin to The Coral in places), as well as the steady swagger of B-side 'Home', is packed with enough character to spark interest in the debut album.-LaurenMurphy - Hotpress Magazine

But really there are only two catogories of music .
Good/Bad.
Debut album title 'Dirty Hands' manifested itself through the struggle of finding the time to get into studio and making excuses to girlfriends/wives about why we were out all night.
Keith remembers Times when he said he was going to work but went to studio and had to rub his hands in the dirt to make it look like he'd had been on a construction site.
There are rumours of bloodshed in both the rehearsal room and the studio during arrangement. McGrath , also the bass player posesses an evil eye , while Grace likes to wear shades .All proceedings are overlooked by Whitey , the silent dog who the band rescued from a skip.
The recording sessions for the album, have been creative with every avenue explored in trying to bring out the best overall sound. The guys love investigating new sonics, vintage guitars and experimental soundscapes. Harmonium, Baritone & Slide Guitars, Xylophone, MicroKorg, “Muppet Show” Backing vocals ,Drum loops, Dog Whistles, Shakers ,Vocal Processors , Books on Philosophy (as a percussion instrument!).... you name it they’ll try it! Chief instigator and referee in all this studio chaos is producer Liam Mulvaney who operates on a drip of strong coffee, mind-games and cigarettes and does his best to avoid band politics. I feel a storm a brewing.
